After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

Shen Mubai refused to budge.

Li Tingze kept his word and took action against Shen's Jewelry at all costs.

Shen's Jewelry's stock price quickly plummeted.

Even so, Shen Mubai still didn't reveal a single word about Lin Zhi's whereabouts.

Li Tingze was shocked and couldn't understand why Shen Mubai was willing to risk the entire Shen's Jewelry Group to keep Lin Zhi's whereabouts a secret.

His actions eventually alerted Grandpa Li.

After retiring for many years, Grandpa Li returned to the Li Group's president's office for the first time.

After finishing his meeting, Li Tingze pushed open the door and saw his grandfather sitting in his office chair with a serious expression.

He stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

Grandpa Li slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "Li Tingze, what have you been doing lately? If it weren't for that old woman from the Shen family coming to me to plead for you yesterday, I wouldn't have known you'd done such an outrageous thing. Although the Li family isn't on good terms with the Shen family, we're not that bad to the point of being enemies. Are you trying to do these despicable things behind my back so that I won't be able to rest in peace after I die?"

After all, paper cannot keep fire.

Li Tingze did not deny it, but said in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa, what I am doing is only temporary. The Shen family will not go bankrupt and be liquidated because of this."

Grandpa Li let out a disgruntled sneer.

He frowned and said, "I always thought you were a calm, steady, and rational leader, but now it seems I overestimated you. You're just an ordinary person who can be troubled by love."

"Don't think I don't know why you're doing all this. I've warned you before to cherish Zhi'er, but you not only ignored me, you've done so many things to hurt her. Do you really think Zhi'er is your pet, that you can abuse her when you're unhappy and tease her when you're happy, and she'll kneel by your side and serve you faithfully? People are emotional beings. If she can't feel your love, she'll naturally grow cold and leave. Don't you understand this?"

Li Tingze clenched his jaw, his expression grim.

Grandpa Li's personal intervention must be an order for him to stop targeting the Shen family.

But if he doesn't stop in time, the position of the leader of the Li family may really change hands.

He still hasn't found a single clue about Lin Zhi.

I am very unwilling to give up.

Seeing that he remained silent, Grandpa Li did not say anything more hurtful. He simply told him to take care of himself and then angrily left, leaning on his cane.

The office door was closed.

The assistant cautiously inquired, "Mr. Li, should we continue with Shen's Group...?"

Li Tingze slowly closed his eyes, and after a long while, he shook his head.

The assistant understood and immediately went to carry it out.

The office returned to calm.

Li Tingze sat alone at his desk, his cold eyes fixed on the skyscrapers outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a sense of loneliness he had never felt before welling up inside him.

What use is having supreme wealth and power?

The assistant knocked again and came in, placing a file folder in front of Li Tingze: "Mr. Li, this is the relevant information found by the people who went to investigate. Please take a look."

Li Tingze took the file bag but did not open it immediately.

He stared at it for a long time before making a move.

The file contained photos of Lin Zhi taken before she left the hospital.

The photos are fragmented.

He flipped through the pages casually, eventually stopping at one that remained untouched.

In the photo, Lin Zhi is standing in front of an ambulance, looking up at Shen Mubai standing in front of her. Although only her profile is captured, her expression shows that she is full of joy.

She looked at Shen Mubai and gave him her brightest smile.

Such laughter comes from the purest of hearts!

His fingers gripped the photograph tightly.

This smile, which Lin Zhi now only shows to Shen Mubai, was once exclusively for him.

In the past, he was always fearless and impunity.

He always felt that Lin Zhi loved him to the bone. No matter what he did to her, she would unconditionally stay by his side. Even if she was sad or angry, as long as he arranged a surprise and said a few words to coax her, he could soothe her emotions.

Only now did he realize that his actions had completely broken Lin Zhi's heart.

Regret came, but it was too late.

Li Tingze stared blankly at the photo, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.

At this moment, he truly tasted the bitterness of jealousy.

Even so, he still maintained one percent of his rationality.

He picked out the photos, took a picture of them separately, and circled the ambulance's incomplete license plate number in red pen before sending it to his assistant.

The assistant quickly sent me the address of a hospital.

This place is far from northern Beijing.

It can be said that Beijing North is in the north, while the hospital is located in the south.

When traveling by plane, you always have to transfer flights.

After arriving in the local area, it takes another four or five hours to drive to the small county where the hospital is located.

When Li Tingze got out of the car, his eyes were full of shock.

This small county town is very backward; even the best hotels don't qualify as star-rated.

As his assistant escorted him to his guest room, he noticed the old, yellowed bed and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Li, why don't we go find your wife first, and then stay in the city?"

Li Tingze said coldly, "No need, stay here for now."

The assistant didn't say anything. After settling in, he drove Li Tingze to the local hospital.

When the receptionist heard that they were looking for Lin Wanxin, her expression immediately became subtle.

They flatly denied that any patient with that name was hospitalized in their hospital.

The Li family's methods were very effective in major cities north of Beijing and in the surrounding areas, but in this backward small county town, no one appreciated them.

The assistant requested to examine the patient personally, but was refused on the grounds of protecting the patient's privacy.

Even when he asked to see the dean, he was ridiculed and driven away.

Just as the assistant was racking his brains, Li Tingze said calmly, "Let's go."

"Mr. Li, we've already seen Madam, how come..."

Li Tingze didn't say much and left the hospital first.

After returning, he asked his assistant to change his accommodation to a hotel opposite the hospital entrance.

Even under extremely harsh conditions, he didn't utter a single word.

The assistant didn't say anything and went to attend to her own business.

Li Tingze stood in front of the wooden window, watching the crowds coming and going at the hospital entrance, trying hard to identify the familiar face.

On the first day, he looked all day but couldn't find the person he was looking for.

The same thing happened the next day.

On the third day, the weather turned bad, and a torrential rain began to fall.

Very few people came to the hospital for treatment.

Li Tingze thought today would end without any further developments, but he saw a familiar figure through the misty rain.

Even with an umbrella, he could recognize Lin Zhi at a glance.

He was terrified that he would lose her again in the blink of an eye, so he didn't bother to change his shoes and ran downstairs quickly, rushing towards Lin Zhi in the pouring rain.

In the torrential rain, Lin Zhi's umbrella barely shielded her. She was only focused on getting to the hospital as soon as possible and didn't notice Li Tingze.

When her wrist was grabbed, she instinctively thought she had encountered a perverted bad guy and hurriedly tried to shake him off.

Amid the chaos, Li Tingze called out in a hoarse voice, "Lin Zhi, it's me!"
